Antoine Soetewey
I am a PhD student in statistics at Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Belgium, within the Institute of Statistics, Biostatistics and Actuarial Sciences (ISBA). My research interests focus on bio-statistical procedures applied to cancer patients.
In parallel with my doctoral thesis, I am teaching assistant for several courses in statistics and probability at bachelor and master’s level and I provide trainings and workshops in statistics and R programming for UCLouvain’s technology platform for Support in Methodology and Statistical Computing (SMCS).
In my spare time, I write about statistics and some of its applications in R on my blog statsandr.com.
